“Courageous, Thoughtful, Invaluable”

Chilmark Research operates on the core belief that healthcare information technology (HIT) has a crucial role in improving care, but only if healthcare leaders have a clear picture of the market and what needs the emerging technologies can actually meet. We use a pragmatic, evidence-based research methodology with a strong emphasis on primary research to provide technology adopters, consultants, investors, and vendors a clear view of the current HIT landscape. We also research specific sectors of the industry at the request of companies and organizations that need an objective third-party perspective.

Proven Research Methodologies

Chilmark Research uses primary and secondary research to understand what areas of healthcare IT are working, what areas require caution, and how given sectors of the market will develop over time. The analyst team continuously tests assumptions about healthcare IT progress, vendors, the market, and end users, sharing findings with clients and the industry through the company blog.

Primary research – We solicit qualitative and quantitative data about the market from targeted stakeholders first through questionnaires and then through in-depth interviews.

Secondary research – We monitor industry reports, regulations, news and commentary for relevant trends and insight into the strengths and weaknesses of emerging technologies.

Throughout the research process, Chilmark Research maintains absolute objectivity. Profiled vendors have the opportunity to review their company narratives for accuracy, but not the rankings. This can at times be awkward, but independence is essential to our ability to deliver a clear, unbiased snapshot of the market and its offerings, and we go to great lengths to maintain it.

Chilmark Research reports serve the needs of technology adopters, consultants, investors, and IT vendors. Everything we do is based on our conviction that IT can transform healthcare if deployed, adopted, and used effectively. This is why we provide decision makers the highest quality insights to understand what is at stake, how technology will be used, and the impact it will have on business operations.
